onion rings. Instead, order some type of vegetables with your meal or
just order the main course when possible.

One of the most important things is the size of your meal. If possible,
try to order off the lunch menu as those portions are much smaller
than the dinner portions. You should always ask your waiter for a
doggie bag at the beginning of your meal. This way, you can split
your meal in half and not be tempted to eat the whole entire meal in
one setting. Usually, you will get enough food for two or three
portions in one meal.

The last thing and probably one of the hardest things that you should
do is to skip dessert. If you feel that you must order dessert, then split
the single portion with your dinner party or split it in half. Some of the
desserts that are served in restaurants contain more calories than your
whole meal, so think twice before you decide to indulge yourself at
the end of your meal. There are times when all of us tend to cheat a
little when it comes to eating and that is completely normal, but
healthy eating requires a lot of will power and commitment.
